Quivers

Quivers had the best time playing Tanswells in Beechworth a long while back. So they are returning, a few albums later, to play a double set of their own lyric-driven jangle indie with a few covers too (Lucinda Williams, R.E.M., and more). Can't wait. See you soon. ------------------------- QUIVERS of Melbourne, Australia, have been a cathartic jangle pop band for long enough now to get supportive ears at Pitchfork, NPR, JJJ and even the band R.E.M., who once slid into the bands DMs to send fire emojis. Quivers have performed at Dark Mofo, Meadow, Boogie, and SXSW after which they filmed a session for beloved Seattle station KEXP. Late 2022 saw Quivers love every minute of a 15-date US tour to celebrate 2nd album Golden Doubt, described by Pitchfork as “like a Go-Betweens with Coachella-conquering ambitions”. With a Bella-sung 7” single, If Only, now nearly sold out, Quivers are now finishing up a third album for release in early 2024. Quivers’ music about grief, friendship and love makes total sense in the live setting; four people and voices that build it up to let it fall apart and then build it back up again. Words about Quivers: “It’s the sound of bedsit 1980s college-rock thrust into the big-tent environs of 21st-century indie, like a Go-Betweens with Coachella-conquering ambitions or a Smiths with greater pub sing-along appeal. And it’s absolutely glorious.” - Pitchfork “Quietly spectacular” - Brooklyn Vegan “Those big, heart-filling harmonies are a highlight of the record. As are the chiming, jangling guitars that call to mind the classic, timeless guitar pop and college rock of artists like Big Star, R.E.M. and The Go-Betweens. But it's Nicholson's rich songwriting that ultimately makes Golden Doubt so captivating.” - Zan Rowe JJJ
